Scribe

Scribes form the backbone of the Empire and are necessary for the continued existence of all organisations within it, as well as the daily operations of the large bureaucratic machine that is the Empire. Scribes can be of any race and any walk of life, their job is to write down notes and messages, and take them to where they should go, as well as transcribing important conversations, thoughts and ideas that need to be distributed. While most scribes are lowly individuals of no particular import, there are some important jobs to be done, often given to trusted scribes, such as working with the Inquisition for their basic duties, transporting messages between important people and writing contracts and other important legislature when the more critical members of the Empire are busy. However, scribes are completely replaceable, and if the person who is the scribe is not important of themselves, a disappearing scribe will raise no more questions than any other random citizen. The exception to that rule being of course, scribes who know too much, those ones need to be either promoted, to priests or basic members of the organization they work for, or disposed of.
